Women in Outdoor Adventure Panel Discussion - 12:30pm
For girls, early outdoor experiences can boost self-confidence and foster a positive body image – not to mention the beauty and serenity that the outdoors can provide. Join our panel of women leaders whose work and advocacy is aimed at increasing participation in outdoor activities – everything from climbing to mountain biking to bike commuting – for women and BIPOC individuals in Central Oregon. We’ll talk about what changes they hope to see in the outdoor industry, what misconceptions people might have about their respective passions and what inspires them about their work.
PANELISTS
Meredith Brandt
Director of Operations for Grit Clinics and Ladies AllRide

President of Bend Bikes

Women and Leadership Panel Discussion - 2:30pm
Women today hold leadership roles in nearly every industry and profession – but while there’s representation, there isn’t parity for women and BIPOC leaders. In this panel discussion, Central Oregon women leaders talk about their career paths, their ideas for fostering more inclusive and expansive workplaces, the resources they recommend for other women leaders and aspiring leaders, and where they gain inspiration for that next great idea.
